Lotus Island
Shortly after releasing their last album BLACK LIGHT BURNS, the avant-garde musical alter ego of Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, return with Lotus Island, a conceptual album set for release globally on January 21st, 2013. The eleven songs, partly instrumental, are built around the previously released track ”It Rapes All In Its Path”, which was featured on the Underworld: Awakening Soundtrack. The idea of building an EP evolved into a pseudo film soundtrack:. Furthermore, in January and February 2013 BLACK LIGHT BURNS embark on their first ever tour of the UK, Europe and Russia, following the August 2012 release of their second full-length album, The Moment You Realize You’re Going To Fall. Black Light Burns released its debut, Cruel Melody, in 2007. In 2009, Borland and Black Light Burns hit the road for an extended run with industrial powerhouse, Combichrist, and contributed the track, ”I Want You To,” to the Underworld: Rise of the Lycans soundtrack. BLB took a temporary hiatus while Borland stayed busy with a world tour with the reformed Limp Bizkit. In 2012 BLB returned, to the delight of fans, with the track, ”It Rapes All In Its Path,” followed by the release of their latest LP ”The Moment You Realize You’re Going To Fall”.

Some of their best work yet! I’ve been a fan of Wes Boreland’s since I saw him climb out of a giant dirty toilet dressed like a gorilla at Ozzfest back in the 90’s. Never was a huge fan of Limp Bizkit but I wore out more than one copy of Big Dumbface (back when CD’s were still useful). I loved the first Black Light Burns album, and thought their cover album was interesting but not really my style. I’m still listening to The Moment You Realize You’re Going to Fall and I like about half the songs on that album. I just got…
Hey, there’s some good tracks here! Well a few… OK, here I kinda hit the wall on Wes’s oddballness. 😀 I love Cruel Melody & The Moment You… and Cover Your Heart… is kinda cool as well.But there’re only four real ‘songs’, in the BLB sense in this album. The rest is clearly soundtrack music – which is clearly the purpose in the composition. I just think it would have been a more palatable combo, if he’d completely separated the ‘soundtrack’, from the ‘tunes. Heh, maybe done an ‘A’ side, ‘B’ side split with the material. Or a couple…
Fantastic!
